Last month, we launched a monthly email update for the Jakarta EE community which seeks to highlight news from various committee meetings related to this platform. We have also decided to publish these updates as blogs and share the information that way as well. There are a few ways to get a grip on the work that has been invested in Jakarta EE so far, so if you’d like to learn more about Jakarta EE-related plans and get involved in shaping the future of cloud native Java, read on.

JakartaOne Livestream is a one-day virtual conference that brings together technology leaders, developers and architects to share best practices, user experience, technical talks and innovations. This conference takes place on 10 September 2019 and is a great opportunity to get to know the Java community, learn about new features coming to the platform, and share your ideas live with the ecosystem leaders and innovators!

The open source community has welcomed Oracle’s contribution of Java EE into Eclipse Foundation, under the new name Jakarta EE. As part of this huge effort and transfer, we want to ensure that we have the necessary rights so we can evolve the specifications under the new Jakarta EE Specification Process. For this, we need your help!

The Eclipse Foundation has been busy over the last six months communicating with the Community at Large in order to update our standard Contributor and Committer Agreements to state explicitly that contributions made to our projects may also be used in specifications.

I am happy to announce that Shabnam Mayel has joined the Eclipse Foundation as a Senior Marketing Lead, Cloud Native Java.

Shabnam brings with her several years of diverse marketing, business development, and technical sales experience. Most recently, she led marketing and brand management initiatives for tech startups in Southeast Asia. She holds an electronics engineering degree, an MBA and a Ph.D. in management. She is based in Toronto.

There's never a dull moment with Jakarta EE! The second Jakarta Newsletter of the year is out and it takes the pulse of the progress the Jakarta community has made so far. This issue offers a sneak peek at the future of Jakarta EE, the impending Jakarta EE 8 release and presents some thoughts on the use of Java trademarks and the javax namespace, and how the current challenges can be transformed into opportunities.

It’s that time of year again! You can now submit your proposals to be part of EclipseCon Europe 2019’s speaker lineup. The conference takes place in Ludwigsburg, Germany on October 21 - 24, 2019. Early bird submissions are due July 1, and the final deadline is July 15.

Industry leaders Red Hat, Eurotech and Cloudera turned to the Eclipse IoT Working Group to overcome common challenges and provide their customers with an end-to-end IoT solution. This case study describes the difficulties each company faced and how they managed to meet customer expectations with the help of the Eclipse IoT Working Group.

The Jakarta EE Working Group charter identifies three key committees to drive the various facets of the working group for which there are elected positions to be filled: the Steering Committee, the Specification Committee, and the Marketing and Brand Committee.

The elected positions are to represent each of the Enterprise Members, Participant Members, and Committer Members. Note that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees.
